Have you ever found yourself in a debate with friends over the superior citrus with which to flavor your guacamole? No? Well, you and your friends are clearly not avocado aficionados.

To settle the debate, we had a Mexican potluck the day after I returned from my crazy long work trip. Jaime (team lemon) and Rebecca (team lime) whipped up their ideal guacs while the rest of us assembled the accouterments. I was very happy with my decision to bring mango to add to the tacos.

We had a blind vote, during which even Jaime voted for the lime guacamole expertly mashed and made by Rebecca.

The lemon, though not the victor, had it's own unique, light taste that we all agreed would be delicious smeared on some fish.

A week or so later, we were shocked to hear that there are people who claim you shouldn't add ANY citrus to your guacamole, because it masks the taste of the avocado! You can read more about this blasphemy here.

So what are you? Team lime? Team lemon? Team citrus-free?

To finish our festive dinner our very own donut master Melissa made MARGARITA DONUTS. There was legit TEQUILA and lime zest in the ICING!

They were phenomenal and it was so wonderful to be reunited with the gang before heading out of the city for yet another week of work travel.

Who of us hasn't considered how our peers will react to our performance in a given race, whether good or bad? And in those moments, whom are we ultimately running for? The sport is difficult enough as it is; doing it for anyone but ourselves makes it unsustainable.
